Using this high power, punch through method, well known by others but new to me, is still working to perfection.
In a site so loaded with an imaginable amount of iron and junk I am now able to pluck out good higher number targets at will while avoiding the million nails and dealing with masking problems on just about every target.
The recent change to the faster DE speed on the F70 made a big difference, and now I find that I can do this almost effortlessly using the big DD coil, too.
Old coins are still the main goal, but everything I dig here seems so interesting to me...even some of the iron when I choose to dig it.
Yesterday's short hunt yielded some more great finds that span years from the early 1900's on up.
Who knows...some of these might be even earlier than that.
A head stamp from around 1911
A lipstick tube top.
A compact case with fancy scroll work.
A brass key from the ILCO company from about the mid 60's.
A pocket watch rim from who knows when.
And my 5th pocket knife from a relatively small area just around the area where an old farmhouse once stood.
I love the watch, but after 3 different knives I set a goal to find as many as I could because this site seems to be littered with them.
5 knives in various conditions that gives me a good idea of the vast history of this place, and harkens back to a time when most males carried a pocket knife of some sort and luckily for me tended to lose them, too.
Still practicing this new method, still getting surprised on almost every hole I open.
